Shower stall refinishing, also known as shower stall reglazing or resurfacing, is a process of restoring the surface of a shower stall by applying a new coating of material. The refinishing process involves removing the old surface layer of the shower stall, repairing any damage, and applying a new coating of finish material.
The process typically begins with cleaning the shower stall thoroughly to remove any dirt, grime, or soap scum. Then, the old finish is removed using a specialized chemical stripper or sandpaper. If there are any chips or cracks, they will be filled and repaired using a bonding agent.
Once the surface is prepped, a new finish is applied to the shower stall. There are different types of finishes available for refinishing shower stalls, including epoxy-based, urethane-based, and acrylic-based finishes. The type of finish used will depend on the material of the shower stall and the desired outcome.
The new finish is applied in multiple layers to achieve a smooth and durable surface. It can be customized in terms of color and texture, giving homeowners the ability to update the look of their shower stall.
After the refinishing process is complete, the shower stall will need to cure for several hours before it can be used. Once the curing process is complete, the shower stall should look and function like new. Shower stall refinishing is a cost-effective way to update the look of an outdated or worn shower stall without the expense of a full replacement.
